There's a different version of this same article from the same site where they compare the characteristics of those dog breeds to the personalities of the characters

WiC.net has the short clip up on their tumblr.Heh, from South Park last night:
Emerson
May contain jokes =>
I don't think so, he hasn't read the books and this video is from before Season 2 started airing, so it's probably referring to this season.
My favourite part from the interview:
Kristian Nairn: "I don't have any problems learning my lines." :lol

Really not digging the new Mountain. He's tall, but he's not really imposing. Just long and lanky.

From what we've seen I agree. The Hoodoo That Rides.
Yeah, it's a shame they lost Conan Stevens. Agreed about the new guy not being quite right, but I'm sure they were in a pinch.
Maybe he can be recast for S3.
Okay, that's pretty brilliant.posted yet?
Yes! Yes! mbison.gif

Maybe his nightly sessions with Ros are to blame for the weight loss. Perhaps we'll get a scene (or three) of it

This is amazing.
I just rewatched the Harrenhal scene a couple of times and I think he's alright. Shoulderpads and he's good to go.
But that's not what I thought when I saw The Mountain in the first series. Back then I was absolutely in awe for the people who did the casting, old Gregor was just amazing.
That being said, the new Gregor looks more like a brother of the TV Sandor (who's just awesome) and that's a good thing. So yeah, he needs some bulkier armor and someone to tell him to act more pissed off, and he's going to be great.

Ned is fantastic. Inspired me to do some shopping. Did it quickly, but it made me chuckle.
So good. Genius.
That series of leader comparisons is stunning. Always going on about climate change, stellar! lol
My rambling is up on Omega-Level (astonishingly late; real life took over earlier this week, but whatever -- I'm really doing this mostly for fun):

I guess, but the only thing Gregor's actor has to bring to the role right now is to stand there and look terrifying, and he doesn't.

That was actually pretty awesome.
Kinda OT but any suggestions for other HBO shows to watch? I just finished season 1 of Game of Thrones, and now I'm needing something to watch while I wait for Season 2 on Blu-Ray since I don't have HBO. I'm really loving Boardwalk Empire, but I don't know what there is after that.

1. I have no problem with the new Cregor and truthfully didn't really notice.
2. I was uncomfortable with the Joffrey torture scene, but I think it's important for reasons that have nothing to do with spoilers. I'm generally against having a character with absolutely ZERO redeeming qualities (or scenes that prove them), but I'll make an exception. I think there's a coherent this-then-that from the Sansa scene (and Tyrion's subsequent public tutelage) straight to Joffrey's reaction to his 'gift.'
3. I haven't read the books in years (stopped halfway through FFC), but the way I imagined Qarth and the 13 was the first time I sat up and said to myself, "this isn't what I imagined." Everything else has been spot on.
4. Agreed with the earlier comments that the pain felt by the commoners was much more prevalent in the books up to this point. Like seriously, we're facing a fucking uprising while we play this game of thrones.
5. Am I the only one that missed Jon Snow and his misfits north of the wall this episode?
6. The actress playing Catherine Stark is outstanding.
7. I really, really love the intros and the theme music. I don't think it's an accident that the world map is laid out on an inside-out globe, with everything working as an intricate machine. Really neat.
8. I haven't been this engrossed in a television show ever, outside of moments of far inferior shows. I know I'm going to be let down as we get to seasons 5-6 and they run out of material.
9. I think it's time I re-read the books.
10. I treat this thread like few others in my 6 years on GAF. I'm scrolling quickly, not clicking on a thing for fear of spoilers (even though I've read the books). I have a fantastic ability to forget things (short term memory loss?) so watching this show means far more to me than reading this thread. Still, I want to be involved and the other thread really pissed me off.

I like her, but I'm kind of getting Emma Watson one-note vibes from her to a certain extent. Nearly every line is dramatic, often semi-forced. I get that the Qarth scene was Dany portraying herself as strong in an attempt to save her people, but it did come off a bit too dramatic at times.
Still, she's a good actress with lots of potential.
Sophie Turner also suffers from that. Both could take some notes from Maise Williams in terms of subtlety

I have zero problems with Danny's actress. She's a monarch surrounded by heathens if you ask me.
It's the same Loras.

Short term memory loss is argued to be in a range of a few seconds to a few minutes tops. So that's not it lol.
Loras is the same actor.
Gregor was originally believe to be scheduling conflict because Conan Stevens was cast in Peter Jackson's upcoming Hobbit films, but we have since found out recently that HBO/D+D did not ask Stevens back for season 2 regardless of scheduling issues.

Ok, so what's the memory loss called where you were fucked up as hell and can't remember what you were doing in the interim?
Steelyuhas

I'm not sure if there is a specific memory loss associated with loss due to alcohol and/or drugs, but short term memory is also sometimes called "working memory", for example short term memory is what I use in a conversation to help formulate a response to what another person just said to me. Beyond that, things are stored in long term memory, there is no "storage" of information in short term memory.
This is just off the top of my head, but I think that's the gist of it.
Not that I know of.
I read it on Wic.net I believe, it may have been Gutshot.
Its funny hearing this sentiment so much online. Almost exclusively from men.
In my own experience every female viewer i've ever talked to finds her story the most fascinating and interesting.
Not saying one is right or wrong, but I actually enjoy her story both in the film and the books.
